Cops Strip Search Mom, "Forcibly" Pull Tampon Out of Her for Maybe Rolling Through Stop Sign

Getting pulled over for rolling through a stop sign is whack. But
getting pulled over, having a gun pointed in your face, and then being
strip searched on the side of the road in front of your two children for
rolling through a stop sign is, well, really whack and probably an
excessive use of force.

At least. that's what a new lawsuit in the Sunshine State is claiming.

Last July, Leila Tarantino claims that she was pulled over by an officer
with the Citrus County Sheriff's Department. In the suit, Tarantino
says she came to a full stop and should have never been pulled over in
the first place.

A passing cop pulled a u-turn,
flashed the lights, and rolled up behind her. Tarantino claims that the
cop immediately drew his weapon, pulled her from the car, and refused
to explain why he pulled her over. Tarantino's two young children
watched all of this unfold from inside her car.

The
cop then placed Tarantino in the back of the squad car, where she
allegedly sat for two hours. When backup arrived, Tarantino was strip
searched on the side of the road, where passing motorists could see
everything.

Then, in a gruesome twist, a female
officer "forcibly removed" a tampon from Tarantino. Presumably, the
cops were looking for drugs, but the lawsuit notes that a drug-sniffing
dog was never called in, and cops never found any contraband or anything
illegal.

The lawsuit does not name the cops involved but notes that there were five male officers and one female officer.

According to the court filing, cops released Tarantino with a citation.
